8 things that we learned from the Game of Thrones cast at the European premiere

The sky was dark, for all the stars were out

The wait is nearly over. Oh yes, Game of Thrones returns in the early hours of 15 April and JOE had the chance to attend the European premiere in Belfast. As always, we're not going to spoil anything but with only six episodes left, the cast were in reflective mood as they looked back at their time on the show. A few days ago, we caught up with Isaac Hempstead-Wright and the Three-Eyed Raven provided us with a few more details about what to expect in the final season.

"He’s an incredibly important character," said the actor.

"The Three-Eyed Raven is there for a reason, he’s not just one weird person in the corner.

"He’s going to have some kind of important role. Exactly what that is, I can’t say yet."

Joe Dempsie, who plays Gendry, may have spent quite a few years rowing but the last Baratheon is extremely happy with the arc of his character. "I think it has been a fairly perfect arc for Gendry because his story has been a constant voyage of discovery," said Dempsie. "Imagine not knowing anything about your parents, where you’re from, or your place in the world? "That’s basically what he has been striving for. He has been looking for purpose and learning about his parentage. "He found his calling in this impending reckoning. It doesn’t mean that he’s not terrified, but he found his calling." As the leader of The Unsullied, Grey Worm is a man without fear but after his relationship with Missandei has moved onto another level, Dany's most ferocious soldier now has a real reason to fight. "Grey Worm is like a Pinocchio story. He starts off as a robot and he slowly becomes a real boy as time goes by because he has fallen in love. He’s got purpose, loyalty and a reason to fight now," said Jacob Anderson. As for his favourite scene, expect to see some fireworks in season eight. "My favourite scene is in this season, so can’t say specifically what it is but i’d describe it as 'terrifying'." Over the course of the show, Ser Davos has been a key player alongside some of the show's most important characters. For example, he has met Daenerys, Jon Snow, Melisandre, Gendry, Sansa, Brienne, Lyanna Mormont, Varys, and Tyrion, but there's one actor that Liam Cunningham loved working with. "Stephen Dillane (Stannis) is such a wonderful actor and I’ve been a fan of his for years. A fantastic theatre actor and his reputation proceeds him. "Also, he just doesn’t play the game. On set, he just questions everything to get the scenes right." Ben Crompton (Dolorous Edd) has said that fans of the show shouldn't worry about the ending not matching their expectations. "Yeah, the thing is our job is kind of done for us," he said. Things could have been very different in if Ser Davos hadn't saved Gendry from Stannis and Melisandre. It may seem like an eternity ago but the priestess did want to kill Robert Baratheon's bastard in an effort to harvest his royal blood. Well, it appears that Dempsie absolutely loved his time working with the Irish actor. Dolorous Edd has been beside Jon Snow during every massive fight and when we asked Ben Crompton to pick his favourite scenes, two stood out from the rest. "We hadn't seen each other for a few years but we caught up for a chat last night. That relationship on screen was exactly the same off-screen. "We had that father-daughter relationship and it was really, really lovely. He was amazing to work with and he's one of my favourite ever people that I ever met."
